Reviews

Kasulis takes a comparative, philosophical approach, identifying both Japanese and universal characteristics of 'Shinto spirituality'.... The book has a clear thematic structure, reads well, and will certainly provoke lively classroom discussion.-- "Journal of Asian Studies"
An outstanding introduction to the basics of the Shinto tradition and its many practices.-- "Philosophy East and West"
The best available primer on this little understood pillar of Japanese spiritual life.-- "Daily Yomiuri"
